| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah that was a fun epsiode. I loev how alive the world and town feels. It's like there's so much to do there with everything. Some of the older character seems to have some amusing logic about certain subject but still brings a good amount of entertainment to this anime. Konju is also such a cutie. We need more of her! |

| I should have known better, but I'm surprised that Made in Abyss is the current #1 recommended "similar anime." I'd say the only justifiable connection is "Hey, remember six months ago, when you thought Made in Abyss was a cute little adventure that would lower your stress levels and make you happy? If you wanted that then watch HakuMiko, because this time it's Exactly What It Says on the Tin!" If it must be a popular modern show, the #1 could be Non Non Biyori: cute little girls, beautiful nature, happy days. (Though in this show they're adults, only little in size.) The two fantasy slice-of-life shows I'm watching have about the same score right now, but it'll be interesting to see where they go from here over the course of the season.  (Novel readers say Death March is more SoL than action, which is why I'm watching it) A couple of excerpts from a conversation I had with the guy who introduced me to the manga: Miporin said: You must be familiar with Mouse Guard (and you read Redwall?). Those are great, but in many ways Hakumei to Mikochi outdoes those (and the children's book series that most inspired it, I forget the name, and other classics) in worldbuilding and storytelling. Miporin said: The author of Hakumei to Mikochi discussed his inspirations in an interview translated into French (the manga has been released in France since a couple years ago; a North American English release was only just announced) that I can't find at the moment: his biggest inspiration for the series and as a creator in general was that European gnome series (The Secret Book of Gnomes by Huygen I think, after googling around; it's nothing special). I think he mentioned Wind in the Willows next, and a bunch of other classic children's books; he also talked about creating Touhou doujins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_Book_of_Gnomes Another children's book series that's come up as a comparison is Frog and Toad, which was one of my early favorites. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog_and_Toad I sent my mom a couple of screencaps from last week's episode and she replied: "I love the frog and mouse shopping for fabric - and the hedgehog as shopkeeper... great fun." I hope Sentai produces a dub by the time I next visit her in England. HiDive right on time with the upload again. nDroae said: This is the Hakumei to Mikochi OP MV, it's not really instant love but I think I will love it soon. I need to see the OP visuals. It certainly fits the show. Okay, the actual OP is a photo montage. That works fine I guess. I love that big happy table The adaptation pace feels really fast compared to Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou, but that's not a bad thing - it doesn't feel rushed. I've been eating crepes and trying to relax, but can't quite do it because watching this just makes me too happy :) |

| Interesting episode, that turtle house was funny. Also again we have "wild subtitles". |
 |
| Love these little short stories, but they are showing them so fast, one after another. Sen's story was the best one this week.  |
| Three chapters in one episode, it's too much. Maybe they don't miss anything, but this episode don't have a climate like manga. :( |

 |
| The three stories in this episode was nice. It's a bit much though. The singing was pretty. Those living skeletons were quite interesting. |
 |
| I liked this episode. Sen is cute, and I hope they're shown again, and all of the skeletons too. I also liked the first part with the singing, I wish that would've lasted longer. |
 |
| aaand I slept once again, the parts without background music get me everytime |
| Nice, 3 little stories in one episode, they might not connect but it's still entertaining to watch. The first story was a bit forgettable and nothing interesting really happened but the second and third stories had very interesting fantasy elements going on (especially the second one). |
Futari wa Milky Holmes was a mistake Yoshii did nothing wrong |
| I liked the singing in the first part of the episode. The other two parts were enjoyable and relaxing watches as well. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Tsukogami part of 2 stories, mikochi singing and the store grandma's coffee grinder ascends. Sen researching life with her sound heart things :) |
 |
| Loved the stories in this episode ^_^ Especially the one with the skeletons. |
 |
| I'll sort of repeat what I said for episode one: I love how casual they are about the more fantastical elements. The show never forces anything on the audience and it just feels so natural. |
| Dang, people really love Mikochi, for good reason of course, I love her too. Sen, Kobone, and Konju were great as well. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| 3 more cute and touching stories this week. We got Mikochi and Konju the songstresses appeasing the tsukumogami. Sen the bone master. Careful what you swallow Hakumei! And finally the birth of a new tsukumogami. Through fondness that transcends generations, so sweet. Such a relaxing series. :) |
| The singing was really nice, despite it being repetitive. When she smashed the coffee thing, I kept thinking someone's bones were gonna break or something. I watch too much horror stuff. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| And another wonderful episode. It's great to watch these two and their interaction with others. |
  |
| A rival huh? Just like Tohru with Elma. |

| The OP song is so calming it makes me uncomfortable. Naaah jk. Hahaha. Love the OP. It really fits the anime. And the ED, too. Gaaaah. :3 I need it on my phone soonest! I need that song Kanju and Mikochi sang. Ohmygod. It's so beautiful. :') Almost forgot that Kanju's seiyuu is Aoi-chan. :D The part with that girl who's a "scientist" or "inventor" idk what to call her was so funny and cute with her experiments making dead animals alive--well they're all bones. Haha. When it was revealed that Hakumei was at fault for that big ass fish bone being alive and so energetic, I fucking snorted. Hahaha. Hakumeeeei! Sen is soooo cute, btw, and so weird. I love her. Ugh. That tsukumogami concept was so adorable. It makes me cherish my things. Haha. :) Yet another good episode. 5/5. <3 |

| Such adorable laid-back episode! but Yuru Camp ep 3 is much more relaxed compared to this...lolz 4/5. |
 |
| I absolutely adore this comfy anime so far. Gives me a very Aria aesthetic. |
'Dreams Start by Believing' ~ Haruhi Suzumiya |
| very very comfortable episode. nothing to say about. 5/5 |
| i really liked the singing part |
| Kinda hate how the story changes too quickly, but dang the whole episode was lovely as fuck. |
| Really nice and minimalist the narration, the fact of having like characters of a few centimeters tall, puts a certain originality to this anime series, since in recent years they have not seen so serious. The narrative pace is slow, but the episode flows quickly, how strange. It is a pity that it is so underestimated since the first episodes. |
 |
| That tricky technonecromancer, trying to use Hakumei's heartbeat again... :D |
 |
| The OP and those spirits kinda gives this show a Mushishi feel. |

Dreamer_Plague7 said: Amble said: Kinda hate how the story changes too quickly, but dang the whole episode was lovely as fuck. How did the story change? There are definitely going to be more new characters, but it's not like the concept or plot is changing. Maybe I'm blind, but I literally don't know how did it change. Amble meant the fast movement from one chapter to the next :) And yes, Hakumei is a girl. Not a "girly" girl, but a girl nonetheless. |
| I found I like to see this in two or three sittings (depending on the number of stories). That way it leaves me time in between to assimilate the first one and change the mood to a blank page for the next. I like the world-building on this, very natural and low-key fascinating. |
| Disliking Ogata. Liked the episode a bit better than EP1. |
| Enjoyed the 2nd part a lot. |
| The opening song and montage reminds me of Shingeki no Kyojin's season two ending song and montage. And I cannot unsee this. |

| This is a really relaxing anime, how I love these. Tho I wasn't expecting someone to be able to control bones from dead animals. Also Kobone Master's mother is best mother: |

| I hope to see more of Sen! The song part was nice. |
 |
| i absolutely love that opening. it's perfect a necromancer girl wow didn't like the first episode but i enjoyed this one! especially the part about coffee. |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| Yuuki Aoi singing, well well :) Really nice episode. So literally everyone in this series is woman afterall, even Master Kobone (vocied by Shinji from Evangelion Ogata Megumi). And I certainly didn't expect necromancer there. So far it looks as promising anime, heartwarming and calm but also crazy at times. In fact, nice mix of those three and I kinda like it. |
| Cute little stories, still loving the atmosphere and looking forwards to see what next adventure they face! |
 |
| Cute tiny adult girls (I know it sounds paradoxical, but oh well) doing cute things. The settings are one again very phenomenal yet managed to be cute at the same time. We now have our pretty clumsy girl Konju entering the stage |
 |
| Another cute and laid-back episode. Interesting new characters. |

| The three stories fit well together in one episode. It did not feel rushed at all. I like the atmosphere created that I feel could only be expressed in the anime. The town felt well-populated and diverse. |
| The art is unlike any I've seen before. The characters are so distinct and colorful. The backgrounds range from vibrant and scenic to gentle. There is such relaxing music and ambient sound. I adore the little animals: frogs, mice, hedgehogs. There's no conflict but so much curiosity and adventure. |
| The soundtrack of this episode was so beautiful omg, I literally teared up when I saw the tsukumogami's join vibing with them haha |
